Acoustical/Audio Measurements

2 Credits.

The theory and application of objective acoustical and audio measurements are studied. Measurement techniques used in the evaluation of both physical spaces and electronic equipment are presented. Topics include measurement microphones, sound level meters, noise sources, spectrum and FFT analysis, frequency analysis, reverberation, speech intelligibility, transfer functions, swept sine techniques, audio power measurements, ADC and DAC linearity, harmonic distortion and mixed signal testing.
